BASF wants to leave the Chinese region of Xinjiang, VW is putting its commitment to the test. Anthropologist Adrian Zenz harshly critical: The announcements must finally be followed by action.
Zenz: For the first time, VW has now been proven to have a connection to forced labor. Employees of a company that were involved in the construction of the test track were also deployed in measures to spy on and suppress the Uyghurs, he says. The Uighurs feel abandoned by the international community, Zenz says.
